524 FOREIGN OFFICERS IN THE ARMIES OF App. A. 



In person he was more than six feet high, and when young he was 

 remarkably handsome ; his features and shape of the head being of a 

 thoroughly English type. In society he was exceedingly agreeable to the 

 last ; his conversation was always interesting, and often very instractive ; 

 and there was a j^eculiarly gentle and winning expression in his eyes. He 

 took a deep interest in the attempt to introduce chinchona cultivation into 

 India, and I was indebted to him for much valuable advice, and for many 

 letters of introduction which were of great service to me. He also supplied 

 me with most of the material which has enabled me to write the narrative 

 of the insurrection of Tupac Amaru, the last of the Incas, forming the 

 ninth chapter of the present work. 



His memoirs, published by his brother many years ago, give by far the 

 fullest and most interesting account of the war of independence in Chile 

 and Peru, though the work of Garcia Camba, a Spanish general, is the 

 best military history. 



General Miller breathed his last on board H. M. S. * Naiad ' in Callao 

 Bay, on the 31st of October 1861 ; and the remains of the gallant old 

 warrior were interred in the cemetery at Bella Vista, with all the honours 

 which the Peruvian Government could bestow. While the body was 

 being embalmed, two bullets were found in it, and twenty-two wounds 

 were counted on difterent parts of his frame. The most gratifying incident 

 on the occasion was that the people of Callao, who had never forgotten the 

 good he had done them as their Governor, insisted on carrying the coffin. 



One of the last things on which General Miller was employed was the 

 compilation of the list of his brave companions in arms- Such a list, I 

 believe, has never appeared before ; and as the employment interested and 

 amused him during a time of much harassing annoyance, it gives me great 

 pleasure to be able to insert it here, in order that his labour may not have 

 been entirely in vain.
